Support for Gov. Chris Christie's re-election and approval of his job performance have declined slightly but remain strong, according to results of the latest Monmouth University/Asbury Park Press Poll.

Fifty-six percent of New Jersey adults, including 59 percent of registered voters, say Christie deserves a second term. Among registered voters, that's down from 63 percent in February - but still above the 50 percent support measured last September, before Christie's ratings spiked after his handling of superstorm Sandy.Dip expected
